Skating: Thank you for returning the permission slip for our skating days. Our first skate is on
Thu. Feb 20, 2020 at 1:00 - 2:00 pm. Parents who have volunteered to help out to tie skates on our skating days, please let me know which days you will be available.
- All parent volunteers must have a Vulnerable Sector Check before volunteering or have begun the process. Parents who have indicated they were interested in volunteering but do not have their Vulnerable Sector Police Check can apply online at https://www.ottawapolice.ca/en/about-us/Level-3---Vulnerable-Sector-Check.aspx A letter from the school (on school letterhead) stating that you are seeking a Record Check for the purposes of volunteering at the time of submission is available. This letter will waive a portion of the fee. Please let me know when you need the letter.
- The school has extra skates for lending, but the sizes are very limited. Helmets are also hard to come by. Please let me know as soon as possible if your child needs to borrow skates from our school. We will need to see the availability of sizes and try on a few for the perfect fit.
